'tesseract/baseapi.h' file not found about gosseract HOT 25 CLOSED

Need to install libleptonica-dev and libtesseract-dev.

from gosseract.

For anybody else experiencing this issue on an M1 mac:

CPATH=/opt/homebrew/include  LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib go get -t github.com/otiai10/gosseract

from gosseract.

Actually, I think I have a solution. This problem can occur when the command-line developer tools for Xcode are not installed, or when you upgrade Xcode.

To fix, do the following:

brew remove tesseract
brew remove leptonica
xcode-select --install
brew install tesseract
go get github.com/otiai10/gosseract

This worked for me.

from gosseract.

I try to install gosseract on FreeBSD 11.0. I have tesseract and leptonica installed. My baseapi.h is at /usr/local/include/tesseract/baseapi.h but I still get:

go get github.com/otiai10/gosseract
# github.com/otiai10/gosseract/tesseract
tess.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'tesseract/baseapi.h' file not found

Is there any way to tell where to find the file manually?

EDIT:
I hacked my way through the C imports changing:
tesseract/wrapper.go

 3 /*
 4 #cgo LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/lib -llept -ltesseract
 5 #include "tess.h"
 6 */

and tesseract/tess.cpp

  1 #include "/usr/local/include/tesseract/baseapi.h"
  2 #include "/usr/local/include/leptonica/allheaders.h"

This way I got it working

from gosseract.

on osx, this is solved using homebrew: brew install tesseract

from gosseract.

+1

brew remove tesseract
brew remove leptonica
xcode-select --install
brew install tesseract
go get github.com/otiai10/gosseract

worked like a charm.

I experienced same issue here. This error keep showing up even tesseract already installed. Am I missing something? I use yosemite

$ brew install tesseract

$ brew install leptonica
Warning: leptonica-1.72 already installed

I follow this command
brew remove tesseract

same here
I have xcode-select installed already

Thanks for comment.

Did you try this?

Thanks! is there any reference on how to install libleptonica-dev and libtesseract-dev on OSX? that would be very helpful for me.

#FYI I installed tesseract using homebrew.

from gosseract.

how about brew uinstall and install again?

I follow this command

same error

from gosseract.

did you get any error output while issuing those commands?

from gosseract.

how about on windows?

from gosseract.

@zsq2010 did you get the same error? Put that error here please. I'm sorry I'm not so familiar with Windows, just I'm reading https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki#windows.

I have the same problem on a Mac M1 :(
Installed tesseract with brew but get the same error
tesseract/tess.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'tesseract/baseapi.h' file not found

Removing/reinstalling tesseract and leptonica with brew also didn't help.

Leptonica is available under /opt/homebrew/cellar/leptonica. I also tried to set the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=:/opt/homebrew/cellar/leptonica/leptonica/1.81.1/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/homebrew/cellar/tesseract/4.1.1/lib/pkgconfig

But still nothing...

@wozuo how did you get it to work. Did you just export CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH? I tried that and it also didn't work.
